408 nitrous or no? tons of questions!!!! Ok so I'm building a lq4 stroked to a 408 using Texas speed & performance's rotating assembly kit looking for at least 550 rwhp and 700 rwhp on spray (if that's possible new to nitrous and the whole lsx game so I would appreciate appropriate responses)
Questions:
1: what's heads should I go with?
2: intake?
3: carb?
4: how much of a hassle is it to buy and setup a nitrous system? (Never done it)
5: compression?
6: has anyone else done this or have a build I can take a look at?
7: transmission? cam?
8: random information, tips, and most definitely suggestions. Ext. Thanks have a blessed day

1: what's heads should I go with? Trick Flow GenX255 or CNC'd LS3's
2: intake? Vic. Jr or if you got green backs Mast
3: carb? Size as per engine requirements and intended purpose of use.
4: how much of a hassle is it to buy and setup a nitrous system? (Never done it) No hassle, some wiring, couple fuel lines and extra regulator, bottle mounts.
5: compression? 11-12:1
6: has anyone else done this or have a build I can take a look at? There is a 408 section - Under the Dynamometer Results & Comparisons section there is a 408 sticky.
7: transmission? cam? Depends on weight of car, gears, cam will be picked to match engine build and car. Some guys use th400s, some 2spd. glide, some manual. Once you get your parts picked out and other aspects call a cam grinder and he will help you pick one. You will need to do some work here on selecting compression, valve train, pistons etc etc etc as they all affect each other.
8: random information, tips, and most definitely suggestions. Ext. Thanks have a blessed day Just search here or google "408 LS build" and you can read for days on it.

We'll if your a big stall auto the 550 rwhp will be a challenge, but if you can do that your 700 on spray will be cake. Idk what I make for power but I'm guessing I'm making every bit of 500 to the wheel na and I have a carbed 416 with tfs genx 255 heads and my goal is to make 800 to the wheel on a 250-300 shot. Na my car runs 6.70 @104 at 4000 da just foot braking the car. If that gives you any sight?
